This was fixed before the Autoconf 2.59 release, but `tests/wrapper.in' in the
release was out of date.  If you delete that file to force its rebuild, the
freshly generated version will not tickle the Bash bug you describe.

CVS Autoconf records additional dependencies for that file, so is this is less
likely to happen in the future.
